3:00 PM

@FAE True

Mana

I just got blindsided.

Wipqozn

@fredley We will make such awesome bacon.

Fluttershy

@Mana Ask @FAE about it. She'll ship most anything.

Ian Pugsley

So if I'm pre-preparing food, who has pre-prepared food and frozen food recommendations that won't make me feel more like a sad, fat husk of a man than I already will after a three-day gaming marathon?

FAE

@Fluttershy My taste is more discerning than that, thank you very much.

Fluttershy

3:02 PM

@FAE I didn't say you'd ship anything. Just most anything.

Mana

@IanPugsley apples are cool

fredley

@IanPugsley Not possible, however if you're going to go down that route, Garlic Chicken Kievs will make it as smelly as humanly possible

agent86

@IanPugsley chicken nuggets and lasagna

I fried up a whole mess of chicken and baked a large lasagna in preparation for the baby

bwarner

Installer is now unlocked. Where is our contest?

Wipqozn

@IanPugsley Everyone

Ian Pugsley

3:03 PM

the less sticky-hands, stinky, or gassy it will make me, the better

Fluttershy

@agent86 Did you put the chicken nuggets in the lasagna?

agent86

@Fluttershy that's next week when I call it chicken parm

fredley

@Fluttershy Sounds like something off Epic Meal Time...

Fluttershy

@agent86 I can make a mean crock-pot chicken parm.

FAE

@Fluttershy this sounds tasty

Fluttershy

3:05 PM

@FAE It is amazing. The chicken just falls apart after slow cooking for 8 hours. Incredibly tender. =3 And it has a good flavor.

agent86

@Fluttershy we made crock pot stroganoff over the weekend as well.

Krazer

@IanPugsley this

Wipqozn

MAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa‌aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan(a), I want to go home and play DayZ.

Only 3 more hours until I'm off work.

Fluttershy

Unrelated to food, sort of: Has anyone received grant e-mails? >.>

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy No.

Ronan Forman

3:06 PM

@Fluttershy You won though.

tiddy

It looks like the end of days outside my window today. Thunderstorms called all day long. Im going home to Skyrim

Fluttershy

@RonanForman Oh yay! I just decided to be unlazy and look at the meta post for fear you were trolling me. >.>

Mana

Installer is unlocked? Cool, gonna go shower and head to the comp sci building to download everything using their bandwidth.

Wipqozn

What game are you guys talking about? Hello Kitty Online Adventure?

tiddy

I can't wait to jump into Max Payne 3!....in 3 weeks

Just enough time to create my character in Skyrim

Ronan Forman

3:08 PM

@Fluttershy When have I ever trolled anyone?

Fluttershy

@RonanForman I don't know. Did you see the hoodie that would be perfect for me, given the avatar you drew for my Ultra-Hardcore?

Ian Pugsley

@Krazer oh man this is actually great

Wipqozn

I think I might make a DayZ let's play.

Ronan Forman

@Fluttershy Nope.

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn I really wish I could play this without spending $40

Wipqozn

3:09 PM

@IanPugsley $30

Ian Pugsley

especially since I wanted Arma II before this came out

Wipqozn

Buying both in steam gives $10 off

Fluttershy

@RonanForman welovefine.com/2274-pony-hoodie-fluttershy.html

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn still too much - I'll wait for the Summer sale and hope

@Fluttershy Nice.

3:10 PM

What's DayZ?

@IanPugsley The servers are really over loaded now anyways.

@Mana The first real zombie survival game, and the best zombie game ever made.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Better than Left 4 Dead?

bwarner

@Fluttershy Better than Die2Nite?

Wipqozn

It makes both those games look like trash.

I've never played Die2Nite though.

agent86

3:12 PM

@Wipqozn better than Left4Die2Nite 2?

FAE

@Wipqozn If this is actually true I need to look into it because one of my friends is a huge zombie fan.

Wipqozn

@agent86 Yes.

agent86

@Wipqozn NOWAI

tiddy

Daily Reminder: I'm giving away literally every Valve game. Just let me know

Wipqozn

@FAE It's true. Although it's a mod for Arma 2, and you need the base game + expansion to play ti ($30 on steam)

agent86

3:13 PM

@tiddy I'll take one copy of HL3, plz

tiddy

@agent86 Coming right up!

agent86

\o/

Fluttershy

@agent86 Left4Die2NiteDead 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Wipqozn

Kotaku wrote an article on it.

Fluttershy

@tiddy Does this include L4D or L4D 2?

tiddy

3:14 PM

@agent86 If it starts off with a weird opening cinematic of a 28yr old man dancing in his underwear with a banana mic, it's COMPLETELY NORMAL

@Fluttershy Yeo

agent86

@Wipqozn can I chug an entire gallon of orange juice and ductape chainsaws to oars?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Hmm... no game grant for me. Now to decide if I want to spend money on D3.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz No.

FAE

@tiddy What, seriously?

tiddy

Yeah, seriously

Name your Valve Game

Fluttershy

3:15 PM

@tiddy I have nothing to offer in return, though if that is not important, I wouldn't mind either of those two...

StrixVaria

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.

Wipqozn

Like, totally seriously man. Like, totally.

StrixVaria

Wait. No.

If LPMF gets D3 then that's less rep for me.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria Worried about contest competition? :P

tiddy

flutter you want l4d2?

or 1

StrixVaria

3:16 PM

And less contest rewards! Good point!

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Do you really want to take time from playing D3 to ask questions?

tiddy

@FAE What game you want

Fluttershy

@tiddy Really either of them are fine with me. I loved them both. If I have to choose, I'd say 2.

tiddy

k

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I'm going to be running in windowed no border mode with G.SE on my side monitor. There is no overhead.

I can farm rep while I farm demons.

agent86

3:17 PM

@StrixVaria yo dawg, etc

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria You're such a smart fellow ruffles hair

FAE

@tiddy I don't, I don't think there's any valve title I'm interested in that I don't already have. Very cool and generous of you though. :)

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria soloing your first playthrough?

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley Doesn't sound like it. I have RL friends who are like "YO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE AWAKE AT 3AM WTF!??"

tiddy

@FAE np. Yeah thats my problem. Everyone already owns Valve games ;)

Wipqozn

3:18 PM

@tiddy More like that's your plan!

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria Well if you need a fourth, I'll be around (took 3 days off work)

Fluttershy

@tiddy The only Valve game I own is TF2.. Because it is free. <.<

Sterno

I want to solo my first playthrough, but I'll probably co-op with my wife. Which means a lot of time sitting around doing nothing while she manages her inventory. She's a packrat

Wipqozn

You act all generous, but now that in reality you're only give away one or two. It's devious!

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley I will keep you updated. We have at least 3. If there's an open slot I'll let you know.

Wipqozn

3:18 PM

@IanPugsley Won't you be playing with your wife?

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn This game looks fun...

tiddy

@Fluttershy I'll need your steam email

OrigamiRobot

Anyone who did not choose Diablo 3 in the grant is a fool

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy It's amazing.

StrixVaria

The main overhead is going to be stopping in chat to exchange battle tags to find people to play with.

Wipqozn

3:19 PM

@OrigamiRobot Your mom's a fool. Burn.

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn good point - @Sterno, if you and your lady want a 3rd and 4th, @spugsley and I could possibly do it

Fluttershy

@tiddy nihilistronin@yahoo.com

Wipqozn

Actually, no. Your mother can't be a fool if she raised a child who wears a top hat.

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn his momma's momma didn't raise no fool

Wipqozn

@IanPugsley Yeah, I'm a genius.

Sterno

3:20 PM

@IanPugsley Not initially... we'd hold you back. I actually have to work this week :P

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I will call her and make you apologize. Ask @Ianpugsley

Sterno

Eventually it'd be fun to group up with SE peeps though

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn How many players is it? O.o

tiddy

@Fluttershy Sent. Check email or steam

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Servers are normally 30, 50, or 60 players.

Fluttershy

3:20 PM

@Wipqozn O_O

Sterno

I'm still predicting my wife goes into labor tonight at 3:01 EST

4

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy You don't work as teams mind you. That video is probably a terrible example of the game.

Fluttershy

@tiddy Received. Thank you so much.

Wipqozn

You spawn by yourself, and unless you're playing with friends every other player you meet is a threat.

tiddy

np.

Ian Pugsley

3:21 PM

@Sterno you better hope not, I've seen The Omen

the good old one and the bad new one

Wipqozn

In fact I stir clear of other players. Way too risky.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Do zombies lag really bad for you when you play? I like DayZ but the lag problems really bother me. They occasionally pop through walls, way overrun me then magically teleport right next to me, etc. Makes shooting difficult

Wipqozn

@Sterno I do get lag from time to time, but it's normally not too bad.

Lazers

Q: Are there any blocks that spiders cannot climb?

I'm building a spider spawner exp farm, and I have everything planned out. Now the only thing is to build it. But what material should I use? Are there any blocks that a spider (either type) just cannot hold on to the sides of? My farm should function if there are none, but it would be a huge ...

minecraft

Sterno

@Wipqozn My ping will look good and other players and other stuff in the world seems fine, but zombies are just awful for me

Wipqozn

3:23 PM

The only time I really notice a huge problem is if I'm in a really small building and there are a horde of zombies after me.

Sterno

basically, until they're eating my face, they pop around too much for me to reliably shoot

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn This makes it sound more fun. "Run from zombies, hunt @Wipqozn."

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy You used to be such a nice pony...

@Sterno Oh wow. I don't have nearly that much of problem.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn I took a class about putting my hoof down.

Wipqozn

I get the odd lag spike once or twice a session. It's normally fairly good.

agent86

3:24 PM

@Fluttershy yaaaaay.avi

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy I lol'd

Clever pony.

Sterno

Maybe I should turn off my firewall/AV while I play

Raven Dreamer

Time to clean up these Pixeljunk Shooter trophies!

agent86

@Sterno yes! this is a great idea. by the way, what's your IP address?

Wipqozn

Also, I'm not sure bout you @Sterno, but every minute I spend in a town is nerve wracking. EAsily the most dangerous place to be. Both due to zombies and other players.

spugsley

3:26 PM

I get up and everyone's talking about me O-o

DIABLO 3 BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ARGHHHHHHHH

4

Wipqozn

@spugsley inb4 your computer crashes and you can't play

Okay, I'm heading off ladies and gents.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Agreed. That's why it's fun!

Wipqozn

Toodles.

@Sterno Exactly.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

spugsley

@Wipqozn then I come to Canada and take yours

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn I hope not, I have a feeling I might get stabbed for my PC

Sterno

3:28 PM

@Wipqozn I spent about 20 minutes just silently stalking a dude last night. It was a lot of fun. And I never even shot at him!

fbueckert

Well, now I need to figure out if I want to spend the cash on D3 or not.

spugsley

@Sterno I just got here so I thought that was irl. And I was like....wow, Sterno is a shady dude

agent86

@spugsley psh, you read something out of context and assumed the worst? what is this, the bridge?

Fluttershy

argauiwhgaghaoga I want this hoodie. x_x Damn you jobs! Hire meeeee.

Sterno

That's right, Diablo 3. You update those setup files!

skovacs1

3:30 PM

@Sterno Are you proud of yourself for not killing some random stranger and stealing all that they have?

Sterno

@skovacs1 Yes. It took remarkable restraint!

Oh crap

I need to find my Blizzard authenticator!

StrixVaria

Wow @OrigamiRobot Gravatar is seriously fucked.

I went to download my Gravatar to use in something else.

And it rendered fine on the G.SE profile page.

And then the image that it downloaded was Gir on a pig, not this Gir.

Tim Stone

Gravatar is supertrolls.

Sterno

Almost as good as actually playing!

Yi Jiang

@Sterno Progress Quest!

spugsley

3:39 PM

@Sterno Is it sad that I just got a little turned on by this?

yes, yes it is

Fluttershy

@Sterno Mine still said "Fire blah blah skies. Not launched blah blah."

user15026

@spugsley Hey, whatever floats your boat. I won't judge ;)

spugsley

@AshleyNunn :p

agent86

@spugsley paging @IanPugsley to the pugsleymobile, @IanPugsley to the pugsleymobile.

Yi Jiang

@spugsley Knock yourself out

agent86

3:40 PM

when this installer's rockin, don't come a knockin'

4

spugsley

@agent86 bahahaha

agent86

most women want smooth jams, candles, and flowers. @spugsley just wants the Diablo 3 installer splash screen.

Ian Pugsley

@agent86 the thing she doesn't realize is that she still needs to buy+start downloading herself :P

spugsley

@IanPugsley FUCK A DUCK

you're right

user15026

@agent86 it took me a minute to realize you meant music - I was like....what, strawberry or blueberry jam? XD

Ian Pugsley

3:42 PM

@spugsley hold off an hour or two though

spugsley

@IanPugsley why?!?! O-o

WHAT TORTURE IS THIS!!!

Ian Pugsley

@spugsley because mine's not done, duh

Fluttershy

@YiJiang HA! They have "Talking Pony" as a race!

spugsley

@IanPugsley ohhhh

Ian Pugsley

(Did that work? Am I getting away with this?)

user15026

3:43 PM

@Fluttershy hahaha yay

agent86

@IanPugsley given that it's P2P, it seems to me like you'd maybe want them running concurrently - chances are decent that you'd copy it from the other machine. Of course, you could just copy it from the other machine directly.

the "installer" file you download from blizzard just downloads the larger installer to your hard drive, and then you can do what you please with it

Ian Pugsley

@agent86 that's actually what I was intending

Sterno

I just did a direct copy to my wife's machine. Way faster

Ian Pugsley

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't build in any kind of local network discovery for the P2P capabilities

Sterno

Oh no! My video driver may be out of date!

spugsley

3:46 PM

@Sterno UNACCEPTABLE

agent86

@Sterno the demons won't be nearly as colorful, and we all know that a colorful demon is 37% more fun to slaughter

Tim Stone

@IanPugsley I do too, argh...but I'm concerned about getting sucked in and missing days of work. >_> <_<

Fluttershy

Why can I not install Diablo 3? >.> Is it because I have not yet activated it on my battle.net? <.<

LessPop_MoreFizz

SERIOUSLY BLIZZARD? I click the 'Download Diablo 3 Installer link, in Safari, on OS X, and you give me the windows .exe? Sloppy sloppy sloppy.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, ouch

user15026

3:49 PM

Also, am I like the only person on the planet who -isn't- going to be playing Diablo?

Sterno

Guess who just watched the intro cutscene?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn No, there's a bunch of self righteous anti-DRM types out there refusing to play too.

Ian Pugsley

@AshleyNunn @FAE and @Mana won't

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah. I am just not interested in the game

agent86

@Sterno I don't know, but if I find them, I will ban them so hard

Mana

3:49 PM

huh

I am

I won it in the grant.

Ian Pugsley

@Mana I thought you said you were gifting your copy?

or is that an extra

Mana

Yeah, to my girlfriend, but it's an extra.

Ian Pugsley

@Mana ah gotcha

user15026

Oooh, but upside of me not playing - my roommate is! Which means I can have the TV to play Kingdom Hearts. :D

Sterno

ZOMG SPOILERS!

spugsley

3:51 PM

@Sterno omg I can't handle this

FAE

oh god someone is barbecuing and it smells so gooooooooooooooood

3

Fluttershy

@FAE Thank you for breaking up the Diablo 3gasm.

agent86

@Sterno WTF THERE IS AN OLD GUY IN THIS GAME?

Sterno

@spugsley You can get me back tomorrow while I'm at work and you're playing

Mana

Betting right now, five bucks says Deckard Cain bites the bullet.

agent86

3:53 PM

GTFO with your spoilers, @sterno

user15026

@FAE oh man Someone was doing that outside my window yesterday and I wanted to be like "OMG please share!" but then I figured that would be a little bit creepy

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, your first problem is OSx

Sterno

Bummer, I don't even get the "You can't play this yet" message when I try to log in. Instead, Battlenet servers are down for maintenance.

Fluttershy

@Sterno I can't even install it.

Sterno

Huh. With D3 always-online, I guess that means we'll be subjected to the WOW-like "You don't get to play on Tuesdays while we do maintenance" thing

though hopefully for a much shorter window

@Fluttershy why not?

Fluttershy

3:56 PM

@Sterno I still get the message "Fire still falls from blah blah. Diablo 3 has not yet launched."

spugsley

just so everyone knows @OrigamiRobot "ain't got no sugga daddy"

his words

Sterno

Does it unlock on a different day in Equestria?

Fluttershy

@Sterno Apparently.

Sterno

Probably you have to wait longer so they can make the 3d models for the secret pony level

user15026

@Sterno wishes that were real so bad

user15026

3:57 PM

@spugsley thank you for clearing that up

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Last I checked, the game ran great under OS X.

But you can continue to insult me over a matter of personal preference about which you have repeatedly demonstrated your lack of information if you'd rather do that.

agent86

not with any machine I have that runs OSX. I've got like Intel POS Graphics 9000 with 14 kilobytes of shared video RAM powered by tiny insects that are flipping bits

when I jog down the hallway with my laptop bag, I significantly increase the machine's speed

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz uh, where's the insult?
